Illinois Central Assists Boys and Girls Club of Pekin

The Illinois Central College men’s soccer team is spending some time with the Boys & Girls Club of Pekin this fall.

In an ongoing commitment to the program’s youth soccer league, ICC soccer coaches and student-athletes worked with youth on proper ball striking, trapping, and a little juggling. Players ran drills with youth, ages 6-9, in small groups providing direct coaching and encouragement.

The ICC coaching staff will also work with coaching staff from the Youth Soccer League, providing age appropriate drills and training.

The Boys & Girls Club of Pekin is dedicated to providing facilities, services, and support necessary to instill a sense of achievement, cooperation, leadership, and self-esteem in the youth of our community.

The commitment of the Club extends to all youth regardless of nationality, religion, race, creed, or sex.
